Please excuse the BB pic but i just got my new KSport coilovers installed. Thanks to AcutePerformance
530i on KSports-houston-20120121-00015.jpg

Also I wanted to get some input from you guys, I was thinking about getting this front lip and keep it unpainted to match the black plastic trip pieces already on the front bumper.
I'd appreciate hearing anyone's input regarding my car/lip idea. Thanks all!

How low did you drop it using the coilovers? Looks good though.

ksports look good. rear looks like it needs to come up a few mm's to match the front.unless its just the angle. NO to the front lip.

Not sure of exact height, I know there is 4cm left to possibly drop on each coil.

You're right about the rears coming up slightly, didn't have enough time today to fix that though. And good eye with the center caps! I changed them to the black and white, probably the first mod to my car back in the day.

Not sure? I have dynamic drive and active steering, how can I tell?

I have the dampening set at the hardest on all 4 corners, that's just my personal preference but I imagine it would be too rough for most at this setting.
